Double LP version. French producer and live performer Terence Fixmer continues to evolve as an artist while maintaining his influential stance in international techno culture. Following his 2010 album Comedy of Menace (EDLX 010 CD), his continuous evolution has led him to produce his most introspective album yet. With this ten-piece composition, Fixmer is able to tell a story from start to finish, with powerful, deep, dark, pulsating tones that are essential to his musical approach. Depth Charged is a complete concept, as Fixmer's track arrangement takes the audience through various emotions illustrating how there is more to darkness than the dancefloor. Beginning with a slow but heavy bassline, Ellipse acts as a perfect introduction, setting the attitude for the album. Fleeting Beauty brings US fluttering chords amidst a serpentine drone, while the rolling bass of Unforeseen sends the listener into a trancelike state. Purity distracts the listener with it's raw analog warmth filled with extraterrestrial energy. Inside of Me, selected by Marcel Dettmann for his 2014 Fabric 77 mix (FABRIC 153 CD), and Outside of Me are both very dark tracks, filled with atmospheric suspense and quaking rhythms. Beyond is a pure exemplar of Fixmer's signature style with an infectious progression sending anyone to the dancefloor as Pallid Light follows it's footsteps filling a bit more radiance into a modern techno sound. Thoughts shows another emotion of the album with deeper, dub-like sonorities leading to the final track. Concluding the odyssey is Elevation, the most melodic track on the album. Beautifully deep, undulating, and atmospheric, it is a breath of fresh air that brings the listener back to reality. Raf Simons chose this track to accompany the showcase of his works for Dior at the 2014 CFDA Awards. With it's profound, mystifying tones that rise and fall, Depth Charged is the epitome of Fixmer's unique expression.
